Chapter 472 Li Wenyuan brought his girlfriend back
But as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Lin Rushuang couldn't afford to offend her in front of so many people, as it would seem that she was impolite.
Lin Rushuang took it with a smile: "Thank you, Third Aunt."
She took a small bite, and the dense yam melted in her mouth. It was indeed delicious.
He Tingchen sat beside her, tucked her scattered hair behind her ears, and then picked up the warm boiled water on the table and handed it to her.
"Eat slowly and don't choke."
When she turned to look at Third Aunt, her tone was unusually gentler than usual.
"Thank you for your concern. She has been picky about her taste lately and likes to eat soft foods like these."
"It's nothing to worry about!" The third aunt waved her hand, her eyes falling on Lin Rushuang's belly, her tone full of pity. "I used to be straightforward, so don't take it to heart. I really wronged you in the past. By the way, what style did you choose for your wedding dress? I heard the old man say it was Chinese style."
"Yes, I chose a red shawl with a phoenix embroidered on it, and Tingchen chose a dark-colored robe with pine and bamboo patterns on it."
As Lin Rushuang spoke, she took out the photo of the semi-finished product she had taken when trying it on from her mobile phone and handed it to her third aunt.
"Look, this was taken during our last trial. The master said we'd add a few red coral beads to the phoenix crown to make it look even more elegant."
"Oh, this material is good!"
The third aunt came over to take a look and gently tapped the shawl on the screen with her finger.
"Is it Suzhou embroidery? The stitches are so fine! There aren't many craftsmen these days who can make such fine Chinese wedding gowns. I wanted to wear this when I got married, but unfortunately, I didn't have the means back then, so I ended up wearing a red cotton-padded jacket. I still feel regretful when I think about it now."
"If Third Aunt likes it, I'll wear it for you to see carefully on the wedding day."
Lin Rushuang said with a smile.
"I'll need you to check if the Phoenix Coronet is worn properly. You know more about this than we do."
"That would be great!"
The third aunt smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed, and she turned around and shouted to the eldest aunt who was not far away.
"Sister-in-law, come over here and take a look at Rushuang's wedding dress! It's so gorgeous!"
The eldest aunt was peeling oranges with her cousin Li Weiwei. Upon hearing this, she walked over with a smile, holding half a peeled orange in her hand, and handed it to Lin Rushuang.
"Come, eat some oranges to help you feel better. I picked the sour ones on purpose. When I was pregnant with Weiwei, I ate two kilograms of oranges a day. Later, the doctor told me not to eat too many, so I changed to apples."
Lin Rushuang took the orange and took a bite. The sour taste spread in her mouth. Ordinary people might not be able to accept this, but for Lin Rushuang, the sourness was just right.
Thank you, Auntie. I've been craving something sour lately. Tingchen even went to three supermarkets yesterday before he bought the green mandarins I love.
"That's what a man should be like!" The eldest aunt patted He Tingchen's arm, her tone full of approval. "You know how to love your wife. You're much better than my husband. You must remember not to let Rushuang get too tired during the early stages of pregnancy. If you can delegate the wedding preparations to others, do so. The most important thing for her right now is to take care of the baby."
He Tingchen nodded in agreement, his fingertips gently covering the back of Lin Rushuang's hand. "I've arranged everything. Let Qin Yang take care of the venue and other trivial matters. She just needs to choose the wedding candy and look at the invitation styles."
"That's so thoughtful!" Li Weiwei came over, holding her phone. On the screen was her collection of wedding layouts. "Sister Rushuang, look at this Chinese-style courtyard layout I found. Red lanterns are wrapped around the osmanthus tree. It's going to be really beautiful when it's lit up at night. I wanted this for my wedding, but my husband insisted on a Western-style lawn. I'm still nagging him about it."
Lin Rushuang leaned over to take a look, her eyes lighting up. "This looks great! Tingchen and I also want to plant some osmanthus flowers at our wedding venue. My mom used to love planting them, saying they symbolize 'noble presence.'"
"That's perfect!"
Li Weiwei poked the screen excitedly.
"I know a friend who's a florist. He can get fresh golden osmanthus. I'll ask him to send a few pots over. I guarantee your wedding will be filled with the fragrance of osmanthus!"
He Tingchen looked at the smile in Lin Rushuang's eyes, pinched her palm with his fingertips, and whispered, "If you like it, let's get it. It just matches your shawl, red and gold, so festive."
Lin Rushang turned her head to look at him and said "hmm" softly.
The third aunt watched the interaction between the two and said to the eldest aunt with a smile, "Look at these two children, they are such a perfect match! The old man was right. Rushuang is gentle and kind, and Tingchen is caring. They will definitely have a prosperous life in the future."
The eldest aunt nodded in agreement: "That's right! When the baby is born, our Li family will have another little one, and the New Year will be even more lively."
Lin Rushuang didn't expect that the relatives of the Li family seemed to have changed their attitude today. Those people who had mocked her in the past didn't know what was going on today and greeted her with smiles one by one.
She remembered clearly how these people treated her before.
Did the sun rise from the west today?
No matter what the reason is, as long as they don't make trouble.
She had already prepared herself. If they continued to be sarcastic like before, she would never tolerate it.
At this moment, someone shouted outside.
"A Yuan is back."
"A Yuan also brought back a woman."
Others followed suit.
"What kind of person is that? Could it be someone similar to Jiang Yuyan?"
"Forget it, Jiang Yuyan, I've had enough. She only looks well-behaved on the surface, but in fact, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Women like this are the best at deceiving people."
Third Aunt glanced outside and said, "Alright, stop talking. Someone's coming in."
When Li Wenyuan brought Wen Yan in, he was also a little surprised when he saw Lin Rushuang and He Tingchen.
He really didn't expect that He Tingchen would bring Lin Rushuang back. Everyone in the Li family knew that He Tingchen had stopped associating with the Li family a long time ago.
It was only in recent times that his relationship with the old man had eased, but it was not so easy for him to put aside his past grudges and return to the Li family.
Li Wenyuan also asked directly: "How come uncle is free to come back today?"
He Tingchen didn't have time to answer.
Mr. Li next to him took the initiative to say, "I was the one who called to ask Tingchen and Rushuang to come back. What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"
Li Wenyuan nodded slightly.
"No, I was just a little surprised."
Master Li looked at the girl beside Li Wenyuan.
"This is..."
Li Wenyuan immediately introduced: "This is Wen Yan, my girlfriend."
Master Li looked Wen Yan up and down, frowned slightly, and always felt that something was wrong. When he saw Wen Yan's eyebrows, he finally understood.
The little girl was quite pretty, with a standard oval face, a cool white complexion, and light cherry lips. But her most beautiful feature was her eyes, which were round but not dull.
The corners of her eyes are slightly upturned but without any seductiveness. Instead, they are covered with a layer of mist-like coldness, and she always looks at people from a distance.
Master Li retracted his gaze and said, "Since she's your girlfriend, then introduce her family to me."
"yes."
Li Wenyuan took Wen Yan and told him about all the relatives and elders in the family, and Wen Yan greeted them one by one.
Finally it was He Tingchen's turn, and Li Wenyuan introduced him.
"This is my uncle, He Tingchen, and this..."
